1. Corey Graves

A career-ending injury for any professional athlete or entertainer is devastating. In Corey Graves’ case, it has given WWE their next great colour commentator.

The sharply dressed Graves has the voice and the look and is accurate and informative in calling the action. His character is taking shape with each passing show (see his “rivalry” with Enzo Amore) and he can always be counted on to inject his observational humour, especially when he is questioning Booker T’s grammar and vocabulary.

There was, is and always will be only one Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, and it would be extremely premature and quite the stretch to anoint Graves as “the next” anyone. He could however be the first Corey Graves by including a mixture of influences into his work while being sure to carve out his own path in the industry.

He’s even been called upon to demonstrate and highlight the gravitas of certain storylines. In taking on a more prominent role, he’s been afforded the opportunity to demonstrate exactly how valuable he is and can be to the company.

Lately, Graves has been pulling double-duty as the only announcer to voice both Raw and SmackDown Live, a sign of confidence from WWE indicating that Corey Graves could eventually usurp the top position as the voice of WWE.
